                    <p class="fs15 pv15 ph20 ff2 lh20 bd1T">It’s hard to imagine grain growers occupy almost 20 million hectares of productive land covering every state of the country.  This is Australia, the land that yields more than 30 million tonnes of grains annually and internationally regarded as a leading and reliable supplier of high-quality grains. <br /><br />

                    The agricultural, livestock and dairy sector in Australia earns an average of US$155 billion-a-year for a 12% share of GDP. Meanwhile, demand for grains such as wheat (for noodle and confectionery etc), oilseeds (soy and canola etc) and feed grains (corn and barley etc) in Asia and the Middle East has been increasing rapidly due to elevated income levels and changing dietary habits.  Tapping into the lucrative market and determined to provide the world with a stable supply of high quality grains, Sumitomo Corporation (SC) began building its grain empire in Australia. <br /><br />

                    In 2005, SC invested in Australian Bulk Alliance (ABA), becoming the first foreign investment in an Australian grain export terminal. In 2010, SC further acquired a 50% stake in Emerald Group Australia Pty Ltd, a major grain trader and accumulation company, becoming the only Japanese company to establish an upstream value chain from farm to export. In 2012, a business integration of Emerald and ABA took place and ABA was rebranded as Emerald Logistics Services in order to keep up with drastic changes in the Australian grain industry and maximize its business synergy. The supply chain now serves as a distribution infrastructure for the export and marketing of grains for East Asia and the Middle Eastern countries.  <br /><br />

                    In the downstream area, in 2012, SC and Singapore-based Prima Limited, one of Asia’s largest flour mill groups, jointly acquired an Australian frozen dough business from the largest frozen dough manufacturer in Oceania, Yarrows Group. Yarrows Group supplies frozen dough products to quick service restaurants and in-store bakeries in Oceania, as well as to Subway<span class="ff5">®</span> Restaurants in the region and in Asia. Suprima Frozen Foods Pty Ltd, newly established by Prima and SC, inherits the manufacturing facilities of Yarrows Group in Sydney and Perth, Australia. The market share of frozen dough (excluding pastries) of the 2 plants combined reaches approximately 90% in Australia. <br /><br />
                      
                    Going forward, SC will continue to further strengthen business in upstream sectors while building value chains extending to downstream sectors.
